Silver:
the triangles indicate where the thread wear indicators are located in the the grooves

see page 8-31 of owner's manual

also stated "Never use a tyre over six years old, regardless of whether it has been used or not."

LatioR:
seem like it's quite interesting topic. As advise by my cousin who owned the tyre + workshop in malaysia (near Malacca), i've to change 2 tyres by early next yr while still can carry on bal 2 tyres (all the tyre still with at least 50% thread left lei). btw, my tyres already more than 3 yrs with milleage clocked at 52k km now (thanks to previous owner on the low milleage usage).

Silver:
check closely if there are cracks in the tyres even if all with at least 50% thread balance
more than 3 years - can consider to change all 4 tyres

lyh1280:
There is expiry date/shelf-life for all tyres, so pls check the DOM (month/year on mfg on the tyres), do not use more than the warranty period. You may check with the tyres' supplier for the warranty.

Read somewhere b4 pls look out for side tyres "crack lines" when tyres are too old le.. even if ur thread is still good.. be careful.
